X’s & O’s: Pin And Pull RPO

Coaches looking for the right play call will always be right if they’re running the Pin and Pull RPO concept. If the defense across from you sets up to stop the run, you hit them over the top with the pass. When they’re dropping back to shut down your pass game, you hit them with the run game. If you ain’t pinning, you’re pulling.
